[English]

I had never loved like I love you

Since you love me, I understood

That God had other plans for me

And, until you arrived, I finally understood it

That it was our moment

And that it was time for us to be happy

What more can I ask for? You have it all

With you, I calmed down, you made me your way

For you, my heart no longer fits here in my chest

I want to spend the days of my life by your side

I like that they see us holding hands

Let everyone know that you have me in love

...

And we are

Julión Álvarez, listen!

...

That God had other plans for me

And, until you arrived, I finally understood it

That it was our moment

And that it was time for us to be happy

What more can I ask for? You have it all

With you, I calmed down, you made me your way

For you, my heart no longer fits here in my chest

I want to spend the days of my life by your side

I like that they see us holding hands

Let everyone know that you have me in love

...

[Spanish]

Nunca había amado como a ti

Desde que me quieres, comprendí

Que Dios tenía otros planes para mí

Y, hasta que tú llegaste, finalmente lo entendí

Que era nuestro momento

Y que ya nos tocaba ser feliz

¿Qué más puedo pedir?, si tú lo tienes todo

Contigo me aplaqué, me hiciste a tu modo

Por ti, mi corazón ya no me cabe aquí en el pecho

Quiero gastar los días de mi vida a tu lado

Me gusta que nos vean tomados de la mano

Que todo el mundo sepa que me tienes enamorado

Y somos

¡Julión Álvarez, oiga!

Que Dios tenía otros planes para mí

Y, hasta que tú llegaste, finalmente lo entendí

Que era nuestro momento

Y que ya nos tocaba ser feliz

¿Qué más puedo pedir?, si tú lo tienes todo

Contigo me aplaqué, me hiciste a tu modo

Por ti, mi corazón ya no me cabe aquí en el pecho

Quiero gastar los días de mi vida a tu lado

Me gusta que nos vean tomados de la mano

Que todo el mundo sepa que me tienes enamorado
